Description Carlos Shiniti 2018-07-19 18:46:49 UTC
Description:
I tried to write at the formula editor the greek letter delta with the subscripts im. 
Using the markup language as follows %delta_im the formula editor showed a wrong subscript. 
I am doing something wrong or is this really a bug

Steps to Reproduce:
1.open formula editor
2.at the markup language box write 
3. %delta_im

Actual Results:
the greek letter delta is displayed (correctly) but the subscripts im are not displayed, instead another (strange) letter is displayed

Expected Results:
the result I expected is the display of the greek letter delta with the subscripts im.


Reproducible: Always

Was able to reproduce with the following builds. I followed the exact steps. As a note, when I typed the "i" in the "%delta_im", the i did show up in the formula editor; however, as soon as I typed the "m", the funny character showed up and replaced the "i".

The "im" string is being parsed to show Unicode symbol U+2111 -- BLACK-LETTER CAPITAL I : representing "imaginary part" of a Complex number.

What glyph are you trying to show? If you need an "im" literal -- enter it as '%delta sub "im"' or '%delta_"im"'

Worked perfectly!
